[QUOTE="HoustonCuse, post: 2052975, member: 87"]
I look at it like this: NC State, by the numbers, is a team pretty similar to us. If we come out and look completely lifeless on D against them and lose again (particularly if we lose big like we have in other road games), then the season is most certainly a total loss and our only goal should be to finish above .500 for the year.

If we come out and look like the real Syracuse, then we should win that game and it portends that maybe we can really play well enough away from the dome to actually merit NCAA bid consideration.

So I'm sort of looking at it from a different perspective of just the specific games on the resume.

That said, the UVa game is a complete mystery to me. I feel that we have a pretty low chance of winning that game as our guards just will not be able to execute against their defense. Several times this year, John Gillon has convinced me he's good to go and has his tough stretch behind him. I think the more correct thing is he is inconsistent and is likely to remain that way. If he gets 9 assists against UVa we can win. I fear he is more likely to get 3 assists and we lose something like 60 to 54.
